Adapt to Shifts in Light

Automatic Room Light Switching measures and tracks the lighting around you to make sure your current display profile is the one best suited for your environment. Not every task requires controlled lighting so allowing Spyder to adapt the calibration to your room lighting will ensure your monitor profile is optimal. During a Room Light Calibration, multiple profiles are created for different room lighting levels.

Use CheckCal for Confidence

CheckCal is Datacolor's answer to the question, "Is my calibration still valid?" CheckCal performs a short test on your monitor to verify your calibration is up to date.

Calibration as Bright as Your Environment

Some modern monitors have brightness levels for use outdoors or in other highly illuminated settings. SpyderPro's High Brightness calibration setting balances these monitors when working in a bright environment for an accurate reference.

Keep Connected

A native USB-C connection comes standard with the SpyderPRO, along with an additional USB-A adapter for added convenience when needed.

Datacolor SpyderCUBE RAW Calibration Tool

The SpyderCUBE RAW Calibration Tool from Datacolor is a compact (1.5"/3.8 cm square), digital colour balancing tool that not only allows you to correct the colour temperature but also the exposure, brightness and black point of your images. The SpyderCUBE is a spectrally neutral three-dimensional tool that's small enough to fit in your pocket or camera bag and gives you all the features needed to easily adjust your images in post-production. Its multi-sided construction allows special attention to highlights and shadows and contains more features for image control than a grey card or white balance tool.

Just place the SpyderCUBE in the lighting conditions under which you will be photographing. Orient the cube so that the lower black face, containing the black trap, is at the bottom front, and the two split white/grey faces are both visible. Take a photograph that includes the Cube. It makes several measurements that make it possible for you to be confident that your colours are accurate, your shadows and highlights are properly exposed, and your image is adjusted to the ideal density, regardless of the lighting conditions. These functions give you the data you need:

1 Chrome Ball - Measures catchlight to analyse specular highlights.

2 White Face(s) - Define highlights in relation to catchlight.

3 Grey Face(s) - Measures colour temperature and mid tone response.

4 Black Face - Defines shadows in relation to black trap.

5 Black Trap - Defines absolute black.

By using SpyderCUBE under the same lighting conditions as your photos, you can optimally adjust all the

photos in RAW conversion using the information the Spyder 3D shot provides. The SpyderCUBE is easy enough for the advanced amateur and sophisticated enough for professionals.

Reference tool to achieve accurate colours without trial-and-error operations in RAW processing.

SpyderCUBE provides all relevant light information for the RAW adjustments:

Chrome Ball to measure catchlight to analyse overexposed areas.

White Faces to define highlights in relation to catchlight.

Spectrally neutral 18% Grey Faces to measure colour temperature and mid-tones in all lighting conditions.

Black Trap to define absolute black.

Black Face to define shadows in relation to black trap.

Easy to use and compatible with all RAW converter software.

Essential for RAW processing but can also be used when processing images in a JPG workflow.

Small and handy, it fits in any photo bag

Ideal for location shooting (outdoor or indoor) and studios

Capture accurate colour without a lot of trial and error manipulation

Spectrally Neutral, so that the Cube responds accurately to all lighting conditions

Provides reference values to check and adjust RAW control settings

Allows users to instantly correct colour images by setting colour temperature value

Allows users to accurately adjust shadows and highlight detail in any RAW image
